1.    L.  M. 

On  Baptising.. 

1  Lord,  we  have  come  at  thy  command, 
To  follow  thine  appointed  way  ; 
Now  send  a  blessing  from  thy  hand, 
Assist  us  here  to  sing  and  pray. 

2  A  man  from  God,  we  hear,  was  sent, 
Who  did  baptize  in  Jordan''s  stream, 
Such  as  believingly  repent. 
Repent,  believ*,  this  was  his  theme. 

3  The  way  he  came  for  to  prepare, 
For  one  more  mighty  to  proceed. 
The  truth  of  God  he  did  declare 
And  taught  us  what  we  further  need. 

4  Thou  art  more  mighty,  Lorf',  we  own, 
Who  doth  from  heaven,  with  hre  baptize. 
Come  let  thy  power,  and  gift  be  shown, 
That  we  may  in  thine  image  rise. 

5  This  promise  is  to  all  the  seed 
Of  Abraham,  who  now  believe, 
Such  as  from  sin  and  guilt  are  freed. 
May  sure,  the  Holy  Ghost  receive. 


HTMNS. 


6  Come  Alpha,  and  Omega  be, 

Command  thy  blessings  here,  we  pray, 
Bring  us  the  heavenly  land  to  see. 
Where  we  with  God  may  ever  stay. 


»^fter  Baptism. 

1  Whien  Christ  was  baptized  in  Jordan  of 

old, 
Tb«  spirit  descended,  in  scriptufe  we're 

told, 
A  voice   sounds  from  heaven  declaring 

the  Son 
The  Father's  well  pleased   in   what  he 

hath  done 
March,  march, march,  Jews  and  Gentiles 
Tl^  Saviour  in  glory  to  see. 

2  Go   on  now   rejoicing,   who   follow  the 

Lord, 
Like  the  Ethiopian,  believing  the  word, 
The   spirit   of  holiness  will  bring    you 

through, 
March  on  to  the   city  of  gold,  which  is 

new, 
Praise,  praise,  praise  him  through  heaven 
On  earth  we  shall  praise  him  again.    ■ 

3  March,  strait  to  the  mark,  for  the  ptizp 

it  is--sure 


HYMJTS.  5 

For  all  that's  good  soldiers  and  hardness 

endure 
Who  follow  their  captain,  and  king  on 

the  way 
Despising  the  shame,  and  not  ceasing  to 

pray 
Soon,  soon,  soon,  we  will  praise  him, 
With  all  the  bless'd  armies  above. 

4  Come  sinners  the  chief,  and  the  worst  of 

mankind, 
The  sick,  and  the   lame,  and  the   halt, 

and  the  blind. 
Repent  and  believe  on  the  Saviour  Of  all, 
He  came  not  the  righteous,  but  sinners 

to  call. 
Come,  come,  come  to  the  marriage, 
A  feast  is  prepared  for  you. 

5  Come  publicans,  harlots  and  thieves  be 

.     made  new 
The  high,  and  the  low,  sure  the  call  is  to 

you, 
Where  sin  hath  abounded,   there  grace 

shall  exceed. 
From  sin,   and   from   death,   and   from 

bondage  be  freed 
Sing,  sing,  sing  ye  his  praises, 
March  home  from  the  battle  to  teign. 


b  HYMNS. 

6  Come  bond,  and  the  free,  and  ye  covetous 

come, 
No  money  is  asked,  and  yet  there  is  room, 
Come  Isles  of  the  sea,  and  ye  far  distant 

lauds, 
March  on  to   the  kingdom,  where  JesuS^ 

commands, 
Crowns,  crowns,  crowns  are  prepared 
For  all  who  do  conquer  below. 

7  To  battle  to  battle,  we  surely  will  go, 
The  world,  flesh,  and  satan,  is  only  the 

foe, 
They're  conquered   by  Jesus,  who   did 

overcome. 
We'll  follow  him  truly,  he'll  bring  us  all 

home, 
March,  march,  march,  on  to  glory. 
Where  soldiers  are  meeting  to  praise. 

8  No  peace  to  the  wicked,  is  found  here 

below. 
But  all  that  believe,  the  true  peace  they 

do  know, 
And  likewise  the  earnest,  is  promised  to 

thee 
Receive  it,  be  holy,  from  bondage  be  free, 
Shout,  shout,  shout,  ye  with  Angels, 
And  all  that  do  follow  the  Lamb. 

9  The  holy,  the  sealed,  are  far  on  the  way, 
All  things,  to  inherit  whiqh  never  decay, 


HYMK&.  7 

There's  glittering  girdles,   and  crowns 

which  are  gold, 
They  sing  hallelua  with  wariors  of  old 
Sound,  sound,  sound  all  ye  harpers 
We  join  to  praise  God  ever  mor«, 

3.    S»  M. 
On  Meeting  to  Worship.

To  sing  and  praise  and  pray 

And  all  the  holy  brethren  great. 

To  Christ  our  honours  pay. 

2  To  preach  his  word  to  all. 

Exhort,  rebuke,  persuade, 
To  turn  to  God  as  he  doth  call, 
That  they  may  find  his  aid. 

^  Lord  help  us  now,  we  pray, 
The  spirit's  sword  to  take. 
Let  sin  and  sorrow  flee  away, 
Pardon  for  Jesus  sake. 

4  The  pardon  d,  souls  come  near, 

Grant  them,  the  spirit's  seal 
Increase  their  faith,  cast  out  their  fear 
Let  them  thy  sanction  feel. 

5  The  Holy  Ghost  convey 

To  those  who  ask  sincere 


e  HYMNS. 

For  this  our  Lord  did  surely  pray 
Now  let  it,  Lord,  appear. 

6  Behold  the  Father  now 

The  promise  will  bestow 
Througji  faith  he  will  perform  the  vow 
And  you  the  truth  shall  know 

7  When  things  of  time  are  past 

A  better  land  you'll  see 
Where  joys  and  songs  do  ever  last 
A  glorious  Jubilee. 

4.    C.  M. 

1  Keep  silence  all  ye  Isles  afar 

And  hear  the  Lord  your  King 
Glad  tidings  to  thee  we  declare. 
Terms  of  Salvation  bring. 

2  Look  unto  me,  and  saved  be 

He  cries  to  all  the  earth 
The  Son  can  surely  make  you  free 
From  sin  and  death,  come  forth. 

3  Your  sins  though  crimson  they  may  be 

Believe  in  Christ  straitway 

Salvation  you  will  quickly  see 

Come  now,  without  delay. 

4  As  Moses  in  the  wilderness 

The  serpent  up  did  raise 


HYMNSi  y 

The  Son  of  Man,  we  must  confess 
For  health,  and  pardon,  praise. 

5  By  hearing  faith  will  come  to  you 

Give  heed  the  spirit  saith, 
And  you  shall  find  this  promise  true 
The  meek,  his  pardon  hath. 

6  Gift  of  the  spirit,  seek  by  faith, 

.   Be  pure,  be  sanctified 
Your  God  shall  see,  as  Jesus  saith 
In  heav'n,  at  last  abide. 

5.    L.  M. 

1  Again  in  fellowship  we  part. 

To  different  climes  we  now  must  go. 
All  of  one  soul,  all  of  one  heart. 
The  Father  and  the  Son  we  know. 

2  To  God  we  look  for  strength  and  aid, 

To  keep  us  all  in  holiness, 
Which  Christ  unto  us  all  is  made, 
In  whom  we  all  things  here  possess. 

3  Gome  Lord  a  parting  blessing  send 

Be  with  each  one,  and  those  that  stay 
Help  each  one  ficht  unto  the  end 
And  never  let  us  go  astray.

In  highest  strains,  of  holy  song.

Abide  in  us  and  ever  reign 

A  show'r  from  heav'n  now  let  it  sound. 

6  Thy  Father  and  thyself  abide, 

In  all  thy  saints  while  here  below 
.Such  as  by  faith,  are  sanctified, 
And  let  them  full  salvation  know. 

7  And  when  as  lightening  thou  shalt  come. 

May  we,  at  last,  be  holy  found 
And  safely  all  arrive  at  home. 
Thy  praise  eternally  resound. 

6.    S.  M. 

Morning. 

1  Early  I  seek  thy  Grace, 

To  aid  this  day  in  love. 
Assist  to  run  the  heav'nly  race. 
That  I  may  reign  above. 

2  This  morning  from  on  high, 

Send  down  a  righteous  rain, 

And  bless  thy  sons  afar,  and  nigh, 

Renew  their  strength  again. 

3  For  blessings  which  are  past, 

Thy  name  be  ever  praised, 


HYMNS.  11 

For  mercy  which  doth  ever  last, 
Be  songs  of  glory  raisM.

Through  life's  short  journey  here. 
The  Holy  Ghost,  let  each  one  fill, 
Till  we  with  thee  appear. 

&  Bloss'd  Comforter  abide, 
And  lead  us  all  to  rest, 
With  all  that  now  are  sanctified, 
Where  all  things  are  possessed. 

6  Thy  grace  again  renew, 

And  dwell  and  reign  within  ; 
To  things  of  time  we  bid  adieu, 
Let  heav'n  on  earth  begin.

To  praise  the  Lord  anew, 
Spirit  of  holiness  appear, 

Help  us  the  truth  pursue, 
We  praise  the  Lord,  for  blessings  pasi^ 

We  trust  him  still  for  aid. 

He'll  help  us  build  unto  the  last, 

Foundations,  he  hath  laid.

12  HYMNS. 

2  O  God,  the  pillars  raise,  we  pray, 

The  Church  again  restore, 
And  put  the  battle  in  array, 

As  thou  hast  done  before  ; 
Salvation's  walls  raise  high  again, 

Set  up  her  gates  of  praise, 
Her  watchmen  let  them  there  remfiin, 

And  banners  lofty  raise. 

^3  Help  them  to  sound  alarm  afar. 

In  Zion's  Holy  Mount, 
Her  armies  quickly,  Lord,  prepare. 

To  give  a  good  account, 
The  Holy  Ghost,  the  rivers  send 

Direct,  and  lead  the  way. 
And  help  us  fight  unto  the  end, 

Be  never  drove  astray.

Tht  Pilgrimage. 

A  pilgrim's  journey,  long  I  take,  a  better 

world  to  view, 
Where  tribulations  have  an  end,  and  all 

things  are  made  new, 
Forgetting  tioubles  a^  I  go,^ and  hope  for 

better  things, 
Where  sorrows  all  come  to  amend,  and 

fiaints  forever  sings. 


HYMNS.  13 

2  The  world  I  bid  a  long  farewel,  its  snares 

I  do  forsake, 

My  helmet  on,  my  feet  well  shod,  my  God 
my  refuge  make, 

My  wisdom  and  my  righteousness,  mj 
holiness  is  he. 

The  spirit  it  will  lead  me  through  to  im- 
mortality. 

3  Why  should  a  thought  of  fainting,  a  mo- 

ment, e'er  come  near 

Since  Jesus  is  my  captain,  again  I  on  do 
stear, 

The  city  shining  brilliant,  is  only  just 
before, 

There  shall  I  see  our  armies,  where  pil- 
grims do  adore. 

4  This  journey  at  the  longest,  will  soon  be 

at  an  end. 

And  Jesus  from  that  city,  the  angels  forth 
will  send, 

To  gather  home  all  pilgrims,  and  give 
them  crowns  of  gold, 

And  make  them  kings  forever,  bis  beau- 
ty to  behold. 

5  My  title  to  these  mansions,  I  think  it 

must  be  sure 
My  sins  are  all  forgiven,  my  heart  he  hath 
made  pure, 


14  HYMNS. 

I  follow  on  my  captain,  the  spirit's  mad* 

me  free, 
I  love  the  God  of  glory,&  him  I  hope  to  see. 

6  Come  all  ye  sons  of  Adam,  for  refuge  flee 
straitway, 

Repent,  believe  the  Gospel,  and  never  go 
astray 

The  holy  spirit's  promise,receive  and  fol- 
low home, 

Where  all  that  are  true  pilgrims,  to  rest 
forever  come. 


Soldier's  Call. 

1  Come  friends  and   all  soldiers,  to  war 

now  prepare. 
The  world,  flesh  and  satan,  are  foes  to 

ensnare. 
But  take  the  true  armour,  the  breastplate 

of  love, 
And  march  to  the  city,  of  glory  above. 

2  A  standard  is  raised,  come  Zion  march 

round, 
As  armies  with  banners,  and  give  a  long 

sound, 
The  walls  of  the  giants,  before  you  shall 

fall, 
And    Canaan  supply   you   to   conquer 

withalk 


HYMNS.  15- 

3  The  sword  of  the  spirit,  shall  cut  its  way 

through, 
The  Holy  Ghost  given,  hath  made  you 

anew, 
Ye  fight  not  uncertain,  but  conquer,  and  ' 

more, 
And  follow  your  captain  who  conq.uei'''d' 

before^ 

4  Your  numbers  though  little  a  host  shall 

destroy, 

And  one  chase  a  thousand,  two,  ten, 
more  annoy, 

The  battle's  not  gained^by  many,  nor 
strong. 

And  not  to  the  speedy,  the  race  doth  be- 
long. 

5  Trust  then  in  your  captain,  he'll  gain  yoa 

the  day. 
Live  ye  in  the  spirit,  not  ceasing  to  pray 
Muich  strait  to  the  city,  remember  thJe 

prize. 
From  glory,  to  glory,  to  heaven,  arise. 

6  There  warriors  are  praising,  their  armor's 

laid  by. 
And  angels  are  helping  to  shout  the  loud 

cry, 
Hosanna  to   Jesus,    and    God,  they  all 

sing,— 
A  glorious  army,  is  praising  their  King.

AtuI  Joshua  saved  Rahab  the  harlot  alive. 
Josh.  vi.  25. 

1  The  Jews  were  of  old,  a  nation  elected. 
Yet  others  are  saved,by  faith  are  protected 
When   they   stand   in  fear,  by  hearing 

God's  wonders, 
Done  in  the  Red  Sea.    Who  from  Sinai's 

land  thunders, 
Chorus. 
Hallalua  to  the  King,  who  so  freely  doth 

pardon, 
We'll  praise  him  again,  when  we  pass 

over  Jordan. 

2  When  spies  came  to  view,  the  land  ovey 

Jordan, 
To  Rahab  they  swear,  to  be  faithful  to 

pardon, 
We  have  heard  of  thy  fame  from  Og  and 

king  Sihon, 
Thy  God  he  is  king,  who  reigneth  in  Zion. 
Chorus. 

3  A  token  of  peace,  in  her  windov.',  she 

bindeth, 
The  scarlet   thread  shows,  and  Rahab 
they  fiijdeth, 


HYMNS.  17 

Alive  she  is  sav'd  with  her  nearest  rela- 
tion, 
By  faith  all  are  sav'd  in  every  nation. 
Chorus. 

4  Our  Jesus  is  sure,  like  Joshua  to  pardon, 
And  sanctify  too  and  bring  them  o'er  Jor- 
dan, 

To  a  land  that  is  richer  than  Canaan  for 
treasure  ; 

And  at  his  right  hand  are  rivers  of  plea- 
sure. 

5  Come  harlots  again  and  chief  in  trans- 

gression, 

The  Saviour  hath  died  doth  make  inter- 
cession. 

By  faith  saved  be,  through  faith  drink 
the  spirit, 

From  sin  be  made  free,  and  all  things 
inherit. 

Hallalua  to  the  king,  who  so  freely  doth 
pardon, 

We'll  praise  him  again  when  we  pass  o\'er 
Jordan.

1  Come  sinners,  hear  the  gospel  sound, 
This  is  the  way  the  lost  are  found, 
To  ev'ry  creature  it  is  preach'd. 
Come  to  the  feast,  you  are  beseeclv*d 


18  HYMNS. 

2  This  is  the  time  to  hear  the  call, 
Come  to  the  feast  px;epar'd  for  all  ; 
Repent,  believe,  m^e  now  your  choice, 
And  hear  to-day  your  Saviour's  voice. 

3  Assist  to  speak,  and  hear  the  word, 
And  shew  the  terror's  of  the  Lord, 
With  fear  let  sinners  moved  be. 
To  Christ  for  refuge  may  they  flee, 

4  Yhose  who  have  fled  for  refuge  see, 
Pardon  their  sins  and  make  them  free, 
Baptize  them  with  the  Holy  Ghost, 
And  save  them  to  the  uttermost. 

5  Come  Alpha,  and  Omega  be. 
Let  us  thy  great  salvation  see, 
Let  all  into  one  spirit  drink, 

Alike  may  all  both  speak  and  think. 

6  From  high  now  send  the  spirit  down, 
Thy  presence  let  our  meeting  crown, 
At  last  our  labour  let  us  see. 

And  dwell  in  Heav'n,  O  Lord,  with  thee.

1  When  I,  in  sin  and  folly  set  out  to  find 
the  Lord, 
i  felt  myself  most  wretched,   condemned 
by  the  word, 


HYMNS.  19 

I  sought  to  be  made  better)  before  I  found 

the  way, 
At  last  I  came  with   all  my  sins,  believ- 

ingly  did  pray. 

2  The  Lord,  he  said,  come  unto  me,  and  I 

will  give  you  rest, 
Along  I  came  repenting,  to  God  my  sins 

confess'd 
I  call'd  on  God  and  Jesus,  to  pardon  all 

my  sin, 
I  bid  the  Lord  a  welcome,  to  sup  he  then 

came  in. 

3  By  faith,  came  peace,   and  pardon,  and 

love  to  God  and  man. 
And  then  the  spirit  given,  did  wider  shew 

the  plan, 
His  Father  sure  came  with  him,  my  soul 

did  sanctify 
This  is  the  blessed  spirit  descending  from 

on  high. 

4  I  long  to  see  the  spirit,  on  Israel's  sons 

pour'd  out. 

Which  God  so  freely  promis'd,  to  all  who 
are  devout, 

His  servants,  and  his  handmaids — to  ho- 
liness arise. 

His  watchman  all  see  eye  to  eye,  the 
truth  most  highly  prize. 


20  HYMNS. 

5  No  more  from  them  I'll  hide  my  face,  the 

Lord  God,  he  doth  say, 
For  I  the  spirit  have  pour'd  out,  in  this 

the  latter  day. 
Come  Lord  baptize  with  fire,  thy  sceptre 

here  now  wield 
May  Zion's  sons  come  boldly  into  the 

gospel  field. 

6  My  life  I  count  not  dear  to  me,  this  gift 

to  spread  abroad. 
It  is  my   greatest   sorrow,   so  few  doth 

know  our  God, 
Lord  God,  send  overseers,  fiU'd  with  the 

Holy  Ghost, 
The  flock  of  God  shall  surely  feed,  that 

no  one  shall  be  lost. 

7  I  hope  to  see  tliis  truth  prevail,  before  I 

hence  do  go, 
That   I   in  peace  may  then  depart,  and 

leave  this  world  of  wo  ; 
O  God,  send  down  a  shower,  of  holiness 

and  love. 
And  may  I  meet  the  holy,  and  praise  with 

them  above. 

13. 

On  Di/ing  in  the  Faith  of  God's  Elect. 
1  Farewell  vain  world, my  stay  is  ended, 
My  sorrows,  and  my  troubles,  here, 


HYMNS.  2t 

Now  let  angels  home  convey  me 
Where  the  pilgrims  crowns  do  wear. 

2  My  Saviour,  come,  for  to  go  with  me, 

Through  the  shades  of  death  and  pain, 
I  trust  him  still,  in  this  last  trial, 
With  him  in  glory,  I  shall  reign. 

3  By  him  I  found  true  peace,  and  pardon, 

The  Holy  Ghost  he  sent  to  me. 
This  is  the  promise  of  the  Father, 
Whom  I  do  love,  and  soon  shall  see« 

4  My  dying  words,  I  pray  remember,  "-> 

Which  I  have  taught  from  year  to  year. 
The  Holy  Ghost  to  me  most  precious, 
This  is  the  way,  non^  need  to  fear. 

5  Come,  all  believers,  yet  receive  it, 

As  a  promise  made  to  you, 
It  will  make  you  pure  and  holy, 
Numbered  with  the  chosen  few. 

6  Witness  all  who  see  me  dying, 

Of  these  words  I  leave  below. 

Though  by  men  I've  been  despised.

For  those  who  foUow'd  him  of  old 


22  HYMNS. 

The  sea  divides,  to  let  them  through. 
Their  foes  are  drowned  in  their  view. 

2  He  fed  them  all  with  angels  food 
Their  clothes  and  shoes  remained  good 
Those  that  do  trust  him  sure  shall  see 
Their  enemies  before  them  flee. 

3  The  foes  who  now  our  peace  annoy 
Our  conq'ring  King  will  sure  destroy 
This  horn  of  our  salvation  sends 
The  Holy  Ghost  to  all  his  friends, 

4  That  we  from  enemies  be  freed, 
May  serve  him  all  our  days  indeed, 
In  holiness,  with  faith  and  love. 
At  last  may  reign  with  him  above. 

5  Come  Sinners  all  without  delay. 
No  longer  in  your  bondage  stay. 
Repent,  believe,  in  Christ  our  King, 
Salvation  he  will  surely  bring. 

6  Then  greater  things  he  hath  in  store. 
Ask  and  believe,  he'll  give  thee  more, 
1  he  Comforter  is  prorais'd  sure. 

To  seal  and  dwell,  and  make  thee  pure. 

7  O  God  of  Glory  send  it  here. 
That  perfect  love  may  banish  fear, 
That  we  in  hope  may  all  abound. 
And  pleasing  God  at  last  be  found. 


HYMNS.  23 

8  That  when  from  earth  we  go  away, 
We  may  go  home  to  endless  day, 
To  praise  the  Lord  our  righteousness 
And  with  him  all  things  there  possess. 

15.      P.    M. 

1  Come  all  ye  sinners  see 
Your  Saviour  on  the  tree, 

He  dies  to  redeem  you  from  death 

He  comes  both  meek  and  low 

But  his  power  he  doth  show, 

And  all  his  salvation  may  have.  :, 

2  The  lost  he  came  to  find,  j 
To  heal  the  lame  and  blind. 

He  preaches  the  word  to  the  poor ;  i 

The  dead  are  raised  up,  \ 

With  any  man  he'll  sup, 
And  his  Fatlxer  at  length  with  him  bring. 

3  He  gives  the  mourners  rest. 
And  takes  them  to  a  feast 

Where  robes  they  are  all  well  prepared, 
Here  music  all  delight, 
And  armours  shining  bright 
Kcceive  them,  and  conquer  the  foe. 

4  The  shield  of  faith  put  on, 
The  battle  is  begun, 

Your  earnest  be  sure  to  receive 
Be  sav'd  from  unbelitf. 


24  HYMNi. 

Follow  your  glorious  chief, 

At  last  you  shall  all  with  him  reign. 

5  Your  helmets  surely  lake, 
Your  captain  ne'er  forsake, 

T  he  world  he  hath  sure  overcome, 

He  conq'red  death  also,. 

Did  to  his  Father  go 

And  there  you  may  see  them  above. 

6  The  warfare  is  not  long, 
And  then  begin  the  song 
Of  loud  everlasting  praise  ; 
With  harps  they  honours  sound, 
But  none  can  there  be  found. 
To  pay  oflf  the  great  debt  of  love.

ZiorCs  March  and  Battle. 

1  As  pilgrims  through  this  world  we  go, 
Forfeiting  all  these  things  below  ; 

In  tribulations  we  rejojce, 

Eternal  life  it  is  our  choice  ; 

Our  faces  heavenward  we  keep 

Our  Captain  guards,  and  doth  not  sleep, 

We  trust  him  in  the  trying  hour. 

He  saves  us  by  his  spirit's  power. 

2  His  armies  do  not  fight  unsure, 

He  gives  them  rest,  and  makes  them  put^, 


HYxMNS.  25 

•An  hundred  fold  he  gives  below, 
They  more  than  conquer  all  the  foe, 
And  when  to  glory  they  shall  come, 
Eternal  life  it  ends  the  sum  ; 
And  down  their  arms  they  then  will  lay, 
And  harp  aloud  through  endless  day, 

Zion,  anew  your  forces  raise. 

Shine  forth  in  robes  of  brighter  blaze, 

Your  banners  raise,  break   forth  once 

nwre, 
The  King  of  Kings  will  go  before  ; 
Uncertain  you  need  not  to  fight, 
A  few  can  put  a  host  to  flight  ; 
Stretch  out  thy  cords  of  holiness, 
The  gentile  regions  to  possess. 

The  Jews  let  Zion  soon  surround, 
As  from  the  dead  let  them  be  found, 
May  they  be  grafted  in  again, 
Again  in  Canaan's  land  to  reign. 
With  gentile  armies  have  reward. 
Own  Jesus  Christ  their  King  and  Lord» 
And  conquer  to  the  uttermost, 
A 11  that  resist  the  Holy  Ghost. 

Awake,  awake,  thy  strength  put  on, 
The  Holy  Ghost  will  make  you  one, 
His  standard  raise  and  march  away, 
And  never  go  again  astray, 
Your  loins  well  girt,  your  feet  well  shod, 
Your  helmets  on,  thus  meet  your  God, 


2&  HYMNS. 

And  lay  your  trophies  at  his  fe^t, 
And  sing  his  praise  where  armies  meet. 

6  They  down  to  earth  with  Christ  will 

cojne, 
The  wicked  then  receive  their  doom, 
The  Kings  in  fetters  then  they  bind, 
Who  would  not  seek  the  truth  to  find, 
Then  their  strong  chains  will  hold  them 

fast, 
Where  devils  reign  and  hope  is  past, 
Rebelious  souls  there  sure  must  be 
In  sorrow,  weep  in  misery. 

7  Now  is  the  time  to  win  the  prize, 
Before  the  Judge  in  vengeance  rise-, 
And  mercy's  door  is  shut  to  thee, 
And  life  no  longer  ofFer'd  free, 
Repent,  believe,  the  sph-it  seek, 
That  you  at  last  with  all  the  meek^ 
Salvation  everlasting  have, 
Redeera'd  from  death  and  from  the  grave. 

8  Fight  on,  the  conquest  it  is  sure. 
For  all  that  to  the  end  endure 
In  holiness,  and  righteousness, 
They  all  things  evermore  possess  ; 
Through  faith  and  patience  follow  those 
That  conquer'd  all  that  did  oppose  ; 
At  last  your  happiness  shall  be 

In  Heav'n,  the  Lord  of  life  to  see.

Or  trouble,  there  come  near  ; 
But  all  are  fill'd  with  holy  joy. 

No  enemies  to  fear. 

3  Their  robes  of  righteousness  will  last, 

Their  crowns  will  never  fade, 
Old  things  are  now  forever  past.

With  songs  of  purest  joy.

Are  mysteries  unfolding  imperfectly  known 
Yet  sent  forth  they  all  are,  into  all  the

The  Holy  Ghost,  chief  of  the  seven  bright

Which  Jesus  receiv'd  from  the  ancient

power, 
As  guards  for  the  pure  souls,  in  the  trying

The  spirit  of  glory,  and  grace  of  our  Qod. 

5  Let  wisdom  stand  guarding,  where  folly 
did  reign, 

And  holiness  o'er  coming  the  spirits  un- 
clean. 

And  love  with  her  bannerfif  give  no  place 
for  wrath. 

And  truth  keep  us  free,  sure  protecting 
the  path.

But  when  to  the  land  of  the  Holy  we  go,

Now  is  the  gracious  hour. 

Repent,  believe,  without  delay, 
While  Christ  is  granting  pow'r^

And  promis'd  to  amend, 

But  on  I  go  in  sin  again, 
On  what  can  I  depend.

That  better  you  may  be  ; 

The  call  is  to  the  sons  of  men, 
Believe,  and  tbou  art  free.

The  pardon  you  shall  know.

And  giving  us  this  righteous  state  ; 
Yet  greater  things  we  must  declare, 
Descejad  from  thee  which  we  do  share  ; 
The  Holy  Ghost  we  have  receiv'd, 
Since  we  in  Jesus  have  believ'd. 

2  For  mercy  we  adore  the  Lord, 
So  freely  promis'd  by  thy  word, 
Although  deserving  death  and  pain, 
Through  Christ  we  did  free  pardon  gain 
For  this  we  love  trie  Lord  above, 

But  more  so,  for  the  perfect  love 
Which  in  pur  hearts  abroad  is  shed, 
By  holy  unction,  heav'nly  bread.

Our  souls  with  holiness  supplies,

It  makes  us  all  complete  in  thee,

All  things  with  them  we  hope  to  share, 
The  gift  of  God  through  heav'n  declare.

A  soul  is  gone  to  bliss  or  wo, 

To  which  in  time,  we  cannot  know. 

2  One  who  hath  dwelt  with  us  below. 
But  now  is  gone,  where  they  do  know  : 
The  state  is  fix'd  in  Worlds  unknown. 
The  body  here  in  weakness  sown.

From  the  cold  sleep  in  yonder  gravfe  : 
From  this  not  any  are  exempt, 
Either  of  life  or  sad  contempt, 

4  Although  uncertain  all  remain, 

A  hope  of  life,  some  here  did  gain, 
Confession  of  his  sins  he  made. 
And  called  on  the  Lord  for  aid. 

5  To  make  all  sure  of  beav'nly  gain. 
Repent,  believe,  from  sin  refrain  ; 
Receive  the  Spirit  promis  d  you. 
To  make  you  free,  and  holy  too.

Experience  ofWm.  Pitts,  of  JaslificatiQnj 
gift  of  the  Spirit,  and  Sanctijicatiort 
wholly. 

1  When  in  my  youthf  j1  days  I  felt 
Myself  a  sinner  ;  under  guilt, 
To  God  for  mercy  I  did  pray, 

And  mourning  went,  from  day  to  day. 

2  At  length  the  Saviour  I  did  view, 

My  burthen  fled,  all  things  look'd  new, 
The  brethren  too  I  then  did  love, 
§orae  hop'd  to  meet  them  all  above. 

3  My  prayer  was  changed  from  Lord  for- 

give : 
Keep  me  from  sin,  help  me  to  live, 
As  Christians  should  from  day  to  day, 
And  never  let  me  full  away. 

4  No  one  of  this  I  durst  to  tell, 

I  he  cross  I  shunn'd,  and  soon  I  fell, 
My  peace  I  found  did  soon  abate, 
Sin  brought  me  iu  a  dreadful  state. 

5  So  on  I  went  in  the  broadvvay, 
'Gainst  light  and  knowledge  evVy  day, 
Something  to  me  did  often  tjll. 

Now  stop  or  you  will  eud  in  hell 
4 


66  HYMNS. 

6  Thus  on  I  went  for  many  years, 
The  truth  did  oft  salute  my  ears, 
Sometimes  I  thought  I  will  amend, 
Escape  from  hell  that  dreadful  end. 

7  Those  promises  I  always  broke, 
In  bondage  liv^d,  that  woful  yoke, 
Through  fear  of  death  I  wish'd  to  fly, 
Fiom  God  and  Christ  eternally. 

8  But  where  to  go  I  could  not  tell, 
To  fly  fiora  God,  although  in  hell 

His  vengeance  theie  would  hold  me  still, 
And  I  must  suffer  all  his  will. 

9  Pleasure  in  sin  I  strove  to  take, 
Before  in  toiment  1  should  wake  ; 
Of  Dives  I  did  often  think, 

Whose  riches  could  not  purchase  diink. 

10  Honour  and  riches  I  did  seek, 
My  vessel  broke,  did  always  leak, 
And  happiness  f  did  not  find, 

U'o  satisfy  the  troubled  mind. 

11  When  unto  God  I  went  to  pray, 

I  could  not  think  what  I  must  say, 
My  old  experience  often  rose, 
Whether  it  be  one,  God  only  knows. 

12  Sometimes  I  said,  there  is  no  God, 
But  yet  i  fear'd  the  dreadful  rod, 

i,  like  the  fool,  did  on  him  call, 

And  sometimes  thought  heM  ?ave  them  all. 


HYMNS.  67 

1-3  Waken'd  at  last  I  was  again, 
My  state  to  see  because  of  sin ; 
One  thing,  said  I,  I  truly  know, 
A  fcinner  I  am,  I  feel  it  so. 

14  Another  tiling  is  just  as  true, 
Cliiist  calleth  sinneis  such  as  you, 
All  that  repent  and  do  believe. 


15  Although  your  sins  like  crimson  are, 
ril  wash  away  and  you  shall  share, 
Said  Jesus  Christ,  with  all  the  bless'd. 
Come  unto  me,  TU  give  you  rest. 

16  My  old  experience  I  forgot, 
For  all  things  here  I  cared  not, 
Mercy  then  was  all  my  song, 

I  prayed  as  I  went  along. 

17  For  more  convjf  tion  sliall  I  pray, 

l  he  answer  seemVl  fiom  God  was,  nay, 
Fmable  now  lo^ii.-t  you  fit?€. 
From  guilt  and  sin  f-aid  misery. 

18  Something  said,  now  stop  and  pray, 
Your  sins,  though  great,  shall  flee  away. 
Have  faith  In  Ciod  come  afso  too, 
Tlres«{  mountains  then  away  shall  go, 

19  I  stopped  then  began  to  pray. 
In  earnest  unto  Christ  did  say, 
Thou  stem  of  Jes«e  pltad  for  me. 
Helpless  deserving  miSeiy.

HYMNS. 


20  Thy  Father  will  entreated  be, 
To  save  a  sinner  just  like  me, 
His  law  thou  hast  now  magnified, 
For  me  dear  Jesus  thou  hast  died. 

21  Father,  I  said,  for  Jesus'  sake. 
Pardon  me  now  and  truly  make, 
His  suff'rings  for  me  on  the  tree, 
My  righteousness  and  liberty. 

22  To  Christ  again  I  made  my  plea> 
By  faith  I  saw  him  on  the  tree, 
Rememb'ring  me  in  that  sad  hour. 
To  ransom  me  from  Satan's  power. 

23  The  living  water  then  I  ask'd, 
The  door  I  open'd  now  at  last, 
And  said,  O  blessed  Lord  come  in, 
And  save  me  from  the  guilt  of  sin. 

24  The  pardon  seem'd  already  now. 
Said  I,  to  hell  I  shall  not  go. 

The  same  said  I,  I  soon  shall  have, 
I  do  believe  the  Lord  will  save. 

25  Something  answered  to  my  soul, 

'1  by  faith  hath  truly  made  thee  whole, 
Then  joy  and  gladness  did  come  down, 
From  God  through  Christ  his  only  Son. 

$6  My  wretchedness  was  fled  away, 
My  God  I  thank'd,  to  Christ  did  say, 
I  shall  from  death,  the  grave,  be  free. 
And  put  on  immortality . 


HYMNS.

27  My  faith  to  me,  as  I  was  told. 
Like  Father  Abraham's  of  old, 
Was  counted  for  my  righteottsness. 

As  God  through  Christ  had  pleas'd  to 
bless. 

28  How  rich  is  God,  how  poor  am  I, 
Nothing  to  give  I  now  did  cry, 
Nothing  he  ask'd,  but  said  'tis  free, 
No  money's  ask'd  for  liberty. 

29  Witness  I  had  myself  within. 

That  God  has  bless'd  and  pardon'd  sin, 
My  Lord  liveth,  I  said  I  know, 
And  I  shall  surely  live  also. 

30  To  God  for  wisdom,  said  I'll  go, 
For  who  are  his  I  do  not  know, 
Examine  closely  I  did  say, 
Teach  what  I  lack  I  humbly  pray. 

(rift  of  the  Spirit. 

31  Accordingly  I  then  soon  found. 
For  God  did  speak  in  secret  sound, 
And  asked  me  whom,  he  had  blessed, 
If  I'd  serve  Him  in  holiness. 

32  And  if  I  also  would  receive, 
His  Holy  Spirit  which  he'd  give, 
To  make  me  holy  like  him  too, 
Till  I  with  him  to  glory  go. 


70  HYMNS. 

33  In  silence  then,  amaz'd  was  I, 
And  he  as  follows  did  apply, 
My  Son  the  blessed  from  above, 
Receiv''d  the  spirit  like  a  dove. 

34  So  those  who  wish  to  follow  on, 
Must  be  anpinted  as  my  Son. 
The  Holy  Ghost,  I  then  did  see, 
Was  freely  promised  unto  me. 

35  The  witness  then  of  God  I  ask'd, 
In  faith,  for  this  as  in  things  past, 
Believing  to  the  ulteiniost, 

Till  G^od  sent  down  the  Holy  Ghost. 

36  The  witness  then!  b^d  most  true, 
The  Holy  Ghost  I  then  welt  knew 
To  me  was  given  from  above, 
And  holiness  I  r.ow  did  love. 

37  My  heart  felt  holy  it  is  true. 
Union  with  God  and  Christ  I  knew, 
And  the  bless'd  unction  given  too, 
*Twas  holiness  and  heaven  below. 

38  My  heart  was  truly  purified. 
And  powV  f«  om  God  to  lay  aside, 
I  had  the  witness  st;iy  within, 
To  lay  aside  besetting  sin. 

39  The  leav'ning  lump  which  I  received, 
Worked  out  the  same  as  I  believ'd, 
When  pride  the  devil  I  did  see, 
Gcd  did  him  fpoil  most  certainly. 


HYMNS.  n 

40  Some  other  thing  then  tempted  me. 
The  Holy  Ghost  did  set  me  fioc, 
For  this  I  pray'd,  and  soracth.ing  said, 
Your  life  is  hid  and  ye  are  dead. 

41  And  envy  also  drew  quite  near, 
By  faith  in  God  I  did  not  fear, 
To  ask  that  God  w  ould  this  erase, 
Believing  too,  he'd  give  more  grace. 

42  Although  my  soul  was  sanctified, 
The  field  did  still  appea:  more  ^vide, 
You  wholly  shall,  as  Paul  did  say. 
Be  sanctified,  'tis  God's  own  way. 

53  Amen,  said  I,  'tis  true,  'tis  true, 
'Tis  Christ  that's  faithful  who  will  do. 
The  things  he  prnmis'd  shall  be  done. 
The  Father,  Spirit,  and  He  are  one. 

44  Not  only  so,  'tis  also  said. 

By  Paul,  and  Christ,  rais'd  from  the  dead 
Preserved  blameless  you  shall  be, 
His  heav'nly  kingdom  for  to  sec. 

45  He  will,  he  will,  I  often  said. 
Relying  on  what  Jesus  did. 

At  last  the  pow'r,  and  fire  he  sent, 
Through  spirit,  soul,  yea,  body  went. 

46  Yes,  God  is  true,  can't  be  denied. 
And  I  was  whoUyruanctified, 

O  keep  me,  Lord,,  in  tliis  good  way. 
And  never  let  me  go  astray.

48  The  Holy  Ghost  my  heart  made  pure, 
This  is  the  middle  state  'tis  sure, 

The  seal,  the  unction,  earnest  too, 
The  Comforter  to  bring  me  through. 

40  Which  wholly  consecrated  me, 
And  brought  me  in  this  last  degree,

S  This  is  not  all  you  here  may  see., 
The  Holy  Ghost  is  promised  free, 

To  all  the  Lord  doth  call, 
Receive  it  now,  without  delay, 
That  God  with  you  may  ever  stay, 
Until  redemption  come. 

G  Then  with  the  holy  you  shall  go, 
, Escape  from  earth  and  mortal  wo. 

To  join  the  heav'nly  throng  ; 
Majestic  true  the  light  shall  be, 
Celestial  armies  for  to  see. 
Led  by  the  King  of  kings. 

7  Immortal,  they  will  never  tire, 
But  follow  on  and  still  admire 

Salvation's  holy  plan  : 
Then  let  us  now  our  voices  raise. 
In  songs  of  glory  and  of  praise 
To  God  and  to  the  Lamb.

The  sheep  are  scattered  ev'ry  one, 
Alone  they  leave  him  for  to  die, 
Their  sins  to  bear  in  agony.

Surrounded  by  a  wicked  host, 

A  ruler  he's  constrained  to  say 
The  Son  of  God  they  did  betray.

Think  of  thy  Lord,  and  what  he  spake  : 
The  wine's  an  emblem  of  his  blood, 
Think  on  the  same  ye  sons  of  God.

No  other  gospel  sound,

Be  raised  in  holiness  ever  to  be, 
And  sing  holy,  holy,  in  eternity.

Soldiers'  Call. 

t  Come  all  ye  sons  of  Adam,  forsake  your 

sad  estate, 
Call  on  the  Lord  while  he  is  near,  before 

it  is  too  late. 
As  soldiers  of  the  Lqrd  of  life,  enlist  in 

this  same  hour, 
Pardon  and  peace,  he  sure  will  give,  and 

save  frojn  satans  power. 

2  Thfe  is  a  world  of  trouble  of  death  and 

vanity,    * 
A  better  one  is  promis'd^  to  all  that  will 

comply, 
Repent,  believe,   this  is    the   way,  the 

earnest  to  receive. 
The  spirit's  bounty  he  will  give  to  all  that 

do  believe. 

H  An  hundred  fold  is  given,  to  soldiers  here 
below,  ,

Their  Captain  hath  declared  it,  awd  )'oq 
the  same  shall  know, 

And  when  the  war  is  ended,  all  things  in 
life  they  have, 

From  death  shall  ba  delivered,  and  tri- 
umph o'er  the  grave. 

4  This  is  their  consolation,  tiie  conquest  it 

is  sure, 
Xo  all  who  have  the  spirit,  and  to  the  end 

endure, 
They  do  not  fight  uucertain,  they  more 

than  conquer  hare. 
They    maroh  with    rais'd,  banners,    at 

length  in  heaven  appear. 

5  They  then  put  off  this  mortal,  for  immor- 

tality. 
Around  the  Holy  City,  they*  sound  the 

jubilee, 
Eternal  is  their  bounty  here,  they  sing 

forever  more, 
With  all  that  are  made  pure  in  heart, 

who  join'd  the  song  before. 

6  As  angels  they  in  glory  around  the  throne 

above, 
They  live  upon  the  treasure,  of  holiness 

and  love. 
All  glory  be  to  God  on  high,  and  to  the 

Lamb  be  praise, 
Aud  to  the  spirit  all  of  onoj  throughout 

eternal  days.
